C118 Fellow countrymen
At this point of time, her clothes were thin, and A Yun quickly felt that the piece of cloth on her shoulders was completely drenched. Even though she couldn't see Mian Niang's expression, she was certain that she must be crying with grievance. After some thought, he hugged her even more tightly.
Before Mian Niang got married, she even made a promise that after she got married, the two of them would stay in the same village and take care of each other.
The way she spoke was as if it was yesterday, she did not expect that such a thing would happen in a few short months, Mian Niang had not even waited for her to get married and take care of him yet.
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, the men outside made a decision. They said that they would go to the city to ask Song Youfu about it tomorrow.
The aunties also walked out of the house. Some of them even shed a tear along with Madame Song.
Previously, they were all envious of Song Zhixiao for going to the Gu family to work, earning both money and ability, and thought that he was a lucky man. If he could get an Elementary Scholar title, then the Song family would have been too weak, but who would have thought that something like this would happen so suddenly.
All of the daughters of the families had also been summoned by them, and these people had even helped Mian Niang clean up the house before they left. Only A Yun, who had greeted her mother before staying the night at Mian Niang's place.
She was worried and left Mian Niang alone.
The two families had a good relationship, A Yunniang and Song Li had always been close, but hearing her daughter say this, they agreed without hesitation.
After leaving, Mian Niang went to the kitchen to boil a hot water and wash her parents' feet.
Madame Song Li's eyes were swollen, upon seeing her, although she did not complain, she was also unwilling to talk to her. Song Youfu was smoking again, smoking one mouthful after another.
Song Zhien lit the oil lamp and kept the book warm. Something big had happened at home, he knew that he wanted to help, but his parents had even mentioned about him. A child, how could he help?
He could only obediently read the book, so as to not annoy his parents.
The two girls lied down together after washing their feet. A Yun originally wanted Mian Niang to say what was in his heart before so she could hold it in and endure it for a while.
But Mian Niang didn't want to say it, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
A Yun couldn't force her, so he patted her body like he was coaxing a child, and comforted her with a few words.
When they parted, Mian Niang's gaze had always made Gu Xin extremely uneasy. She couldn't eat, nor could she sleep, and even she didn't interrupt Gu Wu when she was trying to find out how she got Song Zhixiao out.
When the two of them reached the door, Gu Wu was still muttering to himself: "Didn't you get the Song Family's wife's rest slip? Why is Young Master still unhappy?"
Gu Wu couldn't understand, the master of his house was only thinking about the suspension letter, and now that the female mother was dead, no one could stop him no matter what.
Gu Wen shook his head, and only said one sentence: "I am also not clear, who knows what Young Noble is thinking?"
Gu Han smashed his fist against the wall, causing the white dust on the wall to rustle and fall, revealing the green brick inside. There were traces of bright red blood on it.
Gu Han, on the other hand, seemed to be unable to feel the pain in his hand. He threw another punch, and the brick on the wall began to move, and blood started flowing out of his hand.
His heart was still clogged and uncomfortable.
Gu Wu was right, his wish was fulfilled, and should be happy, but who knew where he could cause such a ruckus.
However, when he thought about the grievances in Mian Niang's hall, the look in his eyes at that time, was like his heart had been split open. He couldn't bleed, but it was extremely painful, so painful that it made him want to kill someone.
After drinking a mouthful of tea, what appeared before his eyes was Mian Niang's cracked lips and the wound on his forehead.
As he sat on the bed, he thought about how Mian Niang looked like when he sat on the horse carriage and endured the reproaches from his parents.
As he laid down to sleep, Mian Niang's words were, "Young Master Gu, spare my life!" It kept echoing in his mind.
In the middle of the night, Gu Xin did not disturb them and rode himself to Tian Jia Wan.
The horse was tethered outside the village, and Gu Xin walked into the village.
He arrived at the Song Family residence.
Looking at the darkness of the courtyard, he saw that the hand that had pushed open the door had stopped.
What was he going to do?
You want to go in just like this?
What was he going to do after entering?
Did he come to see Mubai? It seemed to be, but it also seemed to be more than that.
He wanted to take her away, bring her to his side, but this person, could he take her away?
Her brother was still locked up in the prison. She had just received the letter of rest, so she just followed him. What would the neighbors think of her?
She cared so much about matters of honor, if he really forced his way in, she would definitely be angry, right?
The thought of loving her, wanting her, and wanting this woman tormented him every single night, both sweet and bitter. Gu Wenguwu even said that he was about to become a devil.
At that time, he disapproved and felt that this was his nature. What he liked and wanted, he had never given up and would always strive for.
But now, he felt that what those two monkey brats said was correct. He was truly a devil, and he was actually hesitating here. From start to finish, he was unable to open this small wooden door.
He liked her and thought of her well. It wasn't that he didn't want her to be unable to find a foothold in this world, only relying on herself.
But now, this thought was still there.
He couldn't make up his mind like that, and he didn't have the strength to do so.
The blood on her hands was still dripping, but the wound would eventually heal as well. She only needed time. Since she liked her, then she shouldn't force her at this time. She had to give her time.
It had to be known that it wasn't because of her overbearing personality. Her front legs had been taken care of, and she had gotten married so quickly. She was just too good, and people couldn't help but want to bring her back to take care of her.
"Who's there?"
The clear voice of a half-grown boy woke him up. Song Zhien, who had woken up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, saw a black figure standing at the entrance and shuddered.
Song Youfu walked out of the house wearing his clothes and asked.
The youngest son pointed to the gate. "I saw a black shadow there."
The father and son duo walked to the entrance but not a single person could be seen. Without even thinking, Song Youfu patted on his son's head and said, "You must be suffocating to the point of your eyes turning blurry. You shouted so loudly, Your Mother just fell asleep, and then you woke him up again."
Being patted like that by his father, Song Zhien wasn't sure if he had truly seen things or not. At that time, his eyes had indeed not even opened, and he could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a black shadow here, like a human being.
Song Youfu waited for his youngest son to go to the toilet, and then the two went back to their room. On the surface, he was still muttering: "We're already so old, in the future be safe and don't be so shocked by everything. "If that's the case, then from now on, you are also an adult in this family. You have to support your Sis A …"
Inside the room, Mian Niang listened to A Yun's even breathing, and wiped the tears off her face.
woke up early and made breakfast. Madame Song took out a set of large bags of blankets and cleaned it up, giving all the money she had left in the family to her husband.
The villagers from yesterday were right when they said that their son was in the prison. If they paid him with silver coins, he might get better treatment. The bedding was also prepared for Song Zhixiao, and a set of thick clothes was also prepared. It was cold at night, so Song Zhixiao was afraid that his son might have caught a cold.
Parents are like this. Even though they are still angry at their son for acting on their own, they still can't help but feel sorry for him.
A Yun got up, and after greeting the Song Family members, he was about to leave.
The little girl was accompanying her daughter out of goodwill. A word of thanks was always too thin, so she could still eat breakfast.
A Yun could not decline, and could only go to the kitchen to help Mian Niang.
First, there were customers at home. If they didn't eat when they were in a bad mood, how would A Yun be able to eat, and then, they had their own matters to attend to today. If they didn't eat, how would they be able to do anything?
Although the food was not much, the atmosphere at the table was still much better than yesterday.
Song Zhien finished his breakfast and carried his school bag to school.
Song Youfu also went out to borrow a carriage, and loaded his luggage onto the carriage. He then kept the money, and Madame Song repeatedly reminded him not to be stubborn, and to have a good talk with others.
Song Youfu nodded his head heavily, "Dalang is still inside. I know the severity of this."
They both brought money in, and without saying anything further, they took out the money from their wallets, then said to Song Youfu: "That mouth of yours is hard and stupid, you don't even know how to say anything soft, the older brothers are really worried about you, we are just worried that you will go and mess things up yourself, we, when we go together with you, are not rich, and are only able to take out that much money for the time being, let's see, it's not enough."
Seeing the crushed silver and copper coins on the table, Madame Song Li's tears flowed again. Song Youfu did not cry, but her eyes turned red.
"Then the yamen's entrance is not a good place. How can I let you all keep running with me?"
"What nonsense are you saying, do you think we are doing this for you, we are doing this for the Dalang, the Dalang is a good child, we do not believe that he would abuse and beat up his wife, he must have had some difficulties doing that, we watched as he grew up, we can see that he is suffering inside."
More and more people came in, one after another, including A Yunniang and his father, as well as Chen Erniu's parents.
Most of them were holding money, while others were holding things like eggs.
"As for us, we are also not as knowledgeable and experienced as you and your two brothers. Look at this money, if you can use it, then use it. This is just a small matter, it's not like it is just a small matter. If you can make Dalang come out quickly with the money you spent, it would be pretty good! "
Before Mian Niang got married, she even made a promise that after she got married, the two of them would stay in the same village and take care of each other.
The way she spoke was as if it was yesterday, she did not expect that such a thing would happen in a few short months, Mian Niang had not even waited for her to get married and take care of him yet.
